ABOUT THE TROUPES:

DianastyThe members of Dianasty have always had a passion for improv and music. The combination of these two worlds has been a dream come true for the three girls. The trio first began performing musical improv together as cast members of Rock-O-Matic: The Improvised Rock Opera. It was within this group that they discovered their natural chemistry and blend of varying individual improv styles. The trio was discovered by the ever watchful James Quesada while performing at a charity benefit. James approached the girls with a two year coaching contact and their rise to stardom began!Although the idea of musical improv without instruments was initially intimidating, the girls were up for the challenge. Dianasty draws upon their musical background to create a blend of a capella songs which showcase a variety of genres and talents. These songs create the inspiration for strong scene work among the three friends.

With the DarkWith The Dark specializes in The Bat, a longform format in which lights are turned off. Preferably the stage should be completely black. Our particular brand is reminiscent of an old timey radio-play, with a predilection towards the spooky and mysterious.

The Laser Comedy ShowThe one of a kind, Laser Comedy Show is a unique, story telling experience. Performing artist Chris Fair uses Laser Reactive Technology to draw characters and scenery with a cinematic sense on a glow in the dark screen, which the lines fade in moments like a high tech etch-a-sketch. Chris brings the characters to life by voicing them over, creating sound effects, music and continually drawing action to open up a 3-D world on a 2-D Screen and take you on a laser journey that you won’t ever forget. Chris has been a visual artist all of his life, studied art and film at Northern Illinois University and has been performing stand up, improv and sketch comedy since 2004. He has been developing the Laser Comedy Show since early 2011 when his brother introduced him to the technology with his laser reactive clothing company in 2010, Hyphy Color. Chris has studied at Chicago’s Notorious Second City, iO, Annoyance, ComedySportz theaters and has performed his signature Laser Comedy Show coast to coast at improv and comedy festivals. He also performs for Children.
